MidwayUSA has one listed, but want $120 for it. Yikes.

You're probably better off just buying the FMJ bullets from a vendor.

I had a mold but lost it and am working on making a copy of it in brass.
I have a set of RCBS steel dies and reloaded some 25 ACP ammo.
Use a slow burning powder. The suggested starting load with Bullseye is 1 gr, max is 1.1, not much room for error. I used the LEE micro disc and I think AA #5.

I have the Lee carbide dies and use the RCBS mold. I don't know if either are in current production. There is also I believe a Lyman 252435 for the .25 acp but again I don't know if it is still being produced. I would hate to reload these without a carbide die....

I haven't loaded any yet, but I have a set of Corbin swaging dies that will convert shotgun battery cup primers into jacketed soft point .25 ACP bullets. I have the reloading dies, too. Just never got around to it.

Regards,

Stew

New battery cups are copper plated steel, be careful!

I have the RCBS mould, makes fine little boolits! 1.1 grs. of Bullseye makes for a lot of rounds per pound of powder.
